Industrial wastewater treatment facilities face increasingly complex challenges: stringent discharge regulations, difficult-to-treat contaminants, excessive sludge production, and rising operational costs. At ETI, we have developed advanced bioaugmentation solutions that leverage specialized microbial strains to overcome these challenges while enhancing treatment efficiency and reducing costs.
Bioaugmentation involves introducing specialized microbial cultures strategically selected for their ability to degrade specific contaminants and improve overall system performance. Unlike conventional biological treatment that relies solely on naturally occurring microorganisms, ETI’s bioaugmentation approach introduces highly efficient microbial strains that can:
Target and break down specific difficult contaminants
Operate effectively under challenging conditions
Accelerate degradation rates
Reduce sludge production
Enhance nutrient removal efficiency
Our Oil & Gas solution contains highly specialized microbial strains specifically selected for their exceptional ability to break down complex hydrocarbons, including:
Petroleum-based oils and lubricants
Animal fats and vegetable oils
Long-chain fatty acids
Emulsified oils resistant to conventional treatment
These specialized microbes produce powerful lipase enzymes that rapidly break hydrocarbon bonds, transforming problematic FOG (fats, oils, and grease) into carbon dioxide and water while preventing system fouling and compliance issues.
Excessive sludge production represents one of the highest operational costs for facilities, operators, and managers in wastewater treatment. ETI’s sludge reduction augmentation solutions features specialized strains that significantly reduce sludge volume through:
Enhanced extracellular enzyme production that accelerates biosolids breakdown
Optimized metabolic pathways that convert more waste to CO₂ rather than biomass
Improved floc characteristics that facilitate better dewatering
Specialized predatory microorganisms that consume excess biomass
Facilities implementing sludge reduction programs typically experience 20-40% reductions in sludge production, dramatically lowering hauling and disposal costs.
Meeting stringent nitrogen and phosphorus limits requires specialized microbial capabilities. Our bioaugmentation solutions contain carefully selected strains optimized for:
Enhanced nitrification under challenging conditions
Accelerated denitrification rates
Biological phosphorus accumulation and removal
Simultaneous nutrient removal processes
These specialized microbes maintain effectiveness even during temperature fluctuations, toxic shock events, and varying load conditions that often disrupt conventional nutrient removal processes.
Industrial wastewaters often contain compounds resistant to conventional biological treatment. Our microbial consortium includes specialized strains adapted to degrade:
Recalcitrant aromatic compounds
Phenolics and cresols
Surfactants and emulsifying agents
Complex organic molecules
These specialized degraders eliminate compounds that would otherwise pass through conventional treatment, ensuring compliance with even the most stringent discharge permits.
We are committed to delivering the highest quality product and making the process as easy as possible for you,.
